The Jackson Zoo is looking for passionate, committed volunteers to help us connect visitors to nature and wildlife. Education volunteers work on-grounds through the zoo, using bio-facts and fun activities to show guests more about the animals and their habitats. Education volunteers are an integral part of the visitor experience, transforming a visit from a passive observation to an interactive learning experience.
